This chapter was literally written by me 4 years ago. I've vastly improved 4 C's wise, and storytelling wise. This first chapter is going to get an overhaul, a major overhaul when I"m finished with the story.

It's Saturday... but not just any Saturday. This Saturday is the day that I begin my Pokémon journey again. This is a completely new region for me to explore. I only brought one Pokémon with me to this region, and that would be a Sceptile named Tensa, from my home town in the Hoenn region. He'd been with me on my latest adventures in the Sinnoh region, and the thought of leaving him behind would be unbearable.

The first place we arrived was Nuvema Town, where we were greeted by the Pokémon Professor Juniper who was surprised to see me with a Sceptile, as they didn't appear in that region. After that we moved into one of the houses that were near her lab. There we two people in that town who were also going to become trainers later after receiving their first Pokémon from the Professor. Their names are Cheren and Bianca. Cheren is a young black haired male, with glasses that dresses fancily. He wears blue loafers to match his blue coat-jacket and is a bit of an intellectual. Bianca is a blond haired female that wears dresses a lot. Along with her dresses she wears a green beret to complement her stylish green shoulder bag and her green eyes. We had become great friends, and they had asked me to tell stories of my journeys.

Now the day has arrived when we would begin our Pokémon journeys together. I groggily rubbed my eyes, and checked the time.

"8:30 in the morning. Great. Oh, what's this? A gift wrapped box! I think I know what's in here!" Alright, now I was waiting for Cheren and Bianca. "Tensa, are you up?" I looked over towards the bed that we made together, constructed with reeds and other various grasses.

"How could I not be up with that alarm? I can hear a lot better than you can. Speaking of which, there's someone coming toward the stairs." He informed me, before becoming silent again.

"Oh, that'll be them then. It's about time." I said eagerly, with a big grin on my face. The sound of footsteps coming up the stairs grew louder until finally I saw Cheren emerge from the gap.

"Hey there. Bianca's late again, as usual." He groaned, and adjusted his glasses, a habit of his. I agreed with him, and we both talked for a bit before Bianca finally arrived, three minutes later.

"Hi guys! Sorry I'm late!" She said, with a slight panting, as she was visibly out of breath.

"I've got a feeling that this box has our starters in it. Let's open it! Today is the day we get our Pokémon from Professor Juniper." Cheren said.

"They were delivered to your house so, you should get first pick."

"Naturally." Cheren said politely. I went over to the box and more closely inspected it. Attached to it was a note that said, "I've brought three Pokémon, one for you, and one for each of your friends. Please settle your choices politely. Enjoy your Pokémon! --Professor Juniper"

I opened the box, and inside, three Poké balls were inside. Each had a little logo on the front; a flame on the middle one, a leaf on the left one and a water drop on the right one. I chose the one that had a leaf on it and opened it. A grass Pokémon came out with a flash. The Pokémon cried out, announcing its arrival. "Sniivy!" I could tell right away that this Pokémon was a male.

"Well you sure are an interesting grass type. You'll probably get along with Tensa."

"Hmm, well if you choose him, then I'll choose... this one!" Bianca picked Oshawott, my type advantage. Cheren was left with Tepig, the little orange fire Pokémon starter, my type disadvantage. Now that we all had our Pokémon, I thought that we would be heading straight to the Lab, but Bianca had other ideas.

"Hey I know! Let's have a Pokémon battle!"

"Bianca... I don't think that's such a good idea." I said.

"Honestly Bianca, even though they're weak Pokémon you still shouldn't have battle inside a house."

"Don't be such a worrywart. These little ones are weak, like you said."

"Bianca, even at this level, they can still do a lot of damage. My room is going to get destroyed."

"We have to let them battle so they'll get stronger. It's settled Kynexn! Get ready for a battle!"

"Snivy, use Leer!" The Snivy quickly leered at the Oshawott, causing its defence to fall.

"Oshawott, um, use Tackle!" Oshawott quickly charged at the Snivy, but I asked the Snivy to dodge, and so Oshawott hit a bookshelf knocking some of the books on it to the ground, as well as knocking it over on to the floor.

"What? He dodged it?" Bianca exclaimed, surprised.

With a smug look on his face, I could tell from the tone of voice, that the Snivy was directly responding to her, "Snivy," he said. I interpreted this to mean, "Of course."

"Snivy, use Leer again." A second time, Oshawott's defence fell.

"Kynexn, you haven't even ordered an attack move yet. Why is that?" She asked, curious, as the handbook she had read never really covered more than the very basics. Bianca had a confused look on her face, while Cheren nodded understandingly.

"You'll see. Snivy, use Leer a final time, followed by a quick Tackle." Snivy used Leer, lowering Oshawott's defences to critical levels. The tackle finished off the Oshawott's in one hit, causing it get knocked into the wall where the PC was located, moving it around slightly.

"Oh my! Oshawott! Well, it seems that both our Pokémon did well but yours did better." She was a little disappointed that she lost.

"Kynexn! I can see how you live up to those stories you told! Someday we'll be as great as you!"

"Aww, thank Bianca, but really, I'm really not that good. I just started earlier, so I just know more than you is all." I extended a hand to Bianca, which she accepted and we shook hands.

Cheren cleared his throat. "Ahem, guys. You might want to take a look around."

"Ah! Wh-what happened? Woow! Pokémon are amazing! So much power packed in such a small creature! So little, yet so strong! I'm so glad that I got a Pokémon... sorry about your room Kynexn."

"... ... You're so hopeless Bianca. Let me restore your Pokémon for you." Cheren gives a Revive to Oshawott and then uses a potion to heal him the rest of the way.

"I'm going to battle you too. However, I won't make the room any messier than it already is. You will be my first opponent! Get ready! Let's see what you can do Tepig!"

The battle began, and Cheren led off with a Tackle. I didn't give any command, and Snivy was confident in his abilities as well. He took the hit, and then got back into position. I used Leer twice this time instead of thrice, but I used Tackle four times. This time, we were more evenly matched. Although I still won, Snivy was exhausted at the end, having fought two battles in a row.

"Ah, so that's what a Pokémon battle feels like. I lost my very first one, but this feeling... now I am a trainer! Oh uh... we better go downstairs and apologise to your mother." Cheren said, concerned.

"Don't worry about it. I knew it would happen." They head downstairs to talk to my mother. I looked at Tensa, and he looked visibly miffed, even having his arms crossed in a human like fashion.

"That Oshawott decimated my bed. You had better fix it when we come back."

"Hey, who's the trainer here? I'll fix it. And I'll make it even better. Now... Snivy... do you mind if I keep you in your Poké ball for a while do you?"

"Snivy? Sniiivy."

"He said he's never been asked that before."

"Well, that's a surprise. Never mind then, let's go everyone." I put Snivy back in his Poké ball, attached it to my belt and went downstairs with Tensa. Cheren and Bianca were waiting for me.

"You're a bit late, what took you so long?" Cheren said

"Yeah, Kynexn it's not like you to be late." Bianca said with a light-hearted chuckle.

"I was just discussing something with Snivy and Tensa. We're ready to go now."

"Aren't you going to put Tensa in his Poké ball?" Bianca asked, not understanding our unique relationship, and my ideas on the subject.

"No. In one of the regions I visited, it was a trend to keep some Pokémon out of their Poké balls. It makes it easier for you understand how your Pokémon feels. But that's just my views. You don't necessarily have to follow my beliefs." Bianca nodded, and then she and Cheren left for the lab.

"I've got something for you. It's called an Xtransceiver. It's the latest thing; the successor to your Pokétch, if you will." Mom said.

"Well, I'm going to keep my Pokétch, just because it has memories attached with it. I'll just get my Pokédex and be off. See ya later."

"Goodbye and good luck." She waved at me and gave me the Xtransceiver. I put it on my right wrist after removing my Pokétch and put it on my left wrist. I liked the way this device looked; like a small computer. I can't wait to test out all the features. I exited the house and finally made me way towards the lab. Cheren was there at the door, but Bianca was not.

"I'm sorry Kynexn could you go to Bianca's house? She's probably spacing out like she usually does." I nodded and went over to Bianca's house, just in time to catch the end of a conversation, because the door happened to be open.

"No, no, a thousand times, no!" Bianca's dad exclaimed, the fury evident in his voice.

"But... I'm a good trainer who got a Pokémon and everything! I can totally go on an adventure!" Bianca noticed me standing there, and was probably aware that I had heard that last part.

"Oh... It's alright. Let's go, I'll be waiting for you at the Lab." She said, not her usually cheery self. She walked out hastily and headed off to the Lab. I didn't say anything to her father because it wasn't my place to. At least for now. If it got in the way of her journey later on, I would. I went to the Lab and they were waiting for me. We walked inside and Professor Juniper introduced herself to us for the second time.

We all received our Pokédexes together and then headed out. My mom caught up to us and gave us town maps, and then we headed off to Route 1 together.

"Let's take our first steps onto Route 1 together! 1... 2... 3...!" We all stepped past the sign and looked out ahead. Professor Juniper was waiting for us, to show them how to catch Pokémon. I went ahead. Tensa, scared most of the low level Pokémon away but there was one Pokémon who was brave enough to face us. Using Saigo--the name I gave my Snivy--we caught my very first Unova Pokémon, a female Lillipup. I named her Right before we entered Accumula town, and the Xtransceiver rang. Professor Juniper was on the line, asking Bianca to meet her inside the Pokémon Centre. I stayed outside, and waited. In the meantime, while they were inside, a crowd was gathering, because seven people wearing uniforms that looked like a sort of Medieval type armor. There were flags in place on either side of the group. . I noticed that Cheren was in the crowd. A brown haired boy said, "Sound's like something's going on in the Plaza!" Another brown haired boy responded with, "Well let's check it out then." The moved over to the plaza and I followed.

"Kynexn, come here for a sec." I went over and joined Cheren in the crowd. A man with light green hair and a stylised robe with a stylised P on it emerged from the part in the centre of the uniformed people. The robed man bowed, and began to speak.

"My name is Ghetsis. I am here representing Team Plasma. Today, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to talk to you about Pokémon liberation." Scatter voices can be heard, muttering confused phrases and sounds. The crow eventually quiets down and Ghetsis continues.

"I'm sure most of you believe that we humans and Pokémon are partners that have come to live together because we want and need each other. However... Is that really the truth? Have you ever considered that perhaps we humans... only assume that this is the truth?" Ghetsis moves over to the right side of the crowd and continues.

"Pokémon are subject to the selfish commands of Trainers... They get pushed around when they are our 'partners' at work... Can anyone say with confidence that there is no truth in what I'm saying?" He now waits for their reactions. A lot more people react this time. "Yikes!" "No way." "I don't know..." Ghetsis moves over to the left side of the crowd, where Cheren and I are standing.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, Pokémon are different from humans. They are living beings that contain unknown potential. They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn. Tell me, what is our responsibility toward these wonderful beings called Pokémon?

"That's right! We must liberate the Pokémon! Then, and only then, will humans and Pokémon truly be equals. Everyone, I end my words here today by imploring you to consider the relationship between people and Pokémon... and the correct way to proceed. We sincerely appreciate your attention." Ghetsis and the other members of Team Plasma depart, and the townspeople that heard the speech voice their opinions.

An older man begins to speak, "About that speech... What do you think we should do?"

A younger man responds, "Liberate Pokémon? That's not even possible!" People seem divided on their opinion, and so they leave, save for one mysterious stranger.

Tensa spoke up at that very moment. "Liberate me? I'd never leave you even if you did release me. They're ridiculous."

"I don't want to leave Cheren! I just met him!" Tepig squeaked.

The mysterious green haired stranger spoke up immediately after Tensa did.

"Your Pokémon... Just now it was saying..." I interrupted him.

"I know what he said."

"Slow down a minute. You talk to fast. And what's this about Pokémon...talking? That's an odd thing to say." Cheren said, skeptically.

"Yes, they're talking. Oh. Then, you two can't hear it, either... How sad. My name is N."

"I can understand everything that Tensa says, as well as that Tepig." N had a surprised look on his face for a short time. That however didn't keep him from being determined to prove his point. Cheren was a bit confused.

"My name is Cheren, and this is Kynexn. We were asked to complete the Pokédex and we just left on our journey. My main goal is to become the Champion though."

N responded a little angrily, seeming to know what a Pokédex was already. "A Pokédex, eh? So... You're going to confine many, many Pokémon in Poké Balls then, just to further your own selfish desire. I'm a Trainer, too, but I can't help wondering... Are Pokémon really happy that way?"

"N, I don't plan on confining them, but whatever." I sighed, considering the fact that N was probably the type who wouldn't be convinced simply by words alone, and more of an impression would be made via battling.

"Well, Kynexn, is it? Let me hear your Pokémon's voice again!" N sent out a Purrloin.

"Hm, an interesting one you got there. It reminds me of a Glameow. I wonder what its evolved form looks like. Hmm, Tensa, do you want to take this, or should I ask Saigo?"

"I'll do it. As long as we're together, we're unbeatable!" Tensa's fiery spirit shown through, and he practically radiated with confidence.

"Alright then, use Absorb, to do as little damage as possible." The fight was over in an instant, with a one hit KO. After the battle N gave a small lecture.

"I never expected to hear Pokémon say such things..."

"As long as Pokémon are confined in Poké Balls... Pokémon will never become perfect beings. I have to change the world for Pokémon, because they're my friends." With that, N departed to an unknown place. Cheren commented about the way N acted.

"Huh... Strange guy. But I'm not gonna worry about it. We as Trainers help our Pokémon out, and they do the same for us! Go on ahead. I want to battle the Gym Leader in the next town--Striaton City. Also what did you mean by you could understand what they were saying?"

"I can sort of get a rough idea of what Pokémon are saying, but I can understand everything that your Tepig and Tensa said. Oh and there's another surprise that we have for you, but you have to keep it secret."

"You can understand them? That's a bit unusual. What secret could you have?"

"Not only can he understand us but, I can speak your language too." A gravelly low voice, also with a slight element similar to a croak, that belonged to Tensa rumbled. He said it with a cocky grin on his face.

"D-did... did he just speak... in our language?!" Cheren burst out surprised. It was obvious that he thought that maybe he was hearing things, or it was some sort of ventriloquist type thing.

"Yeah. You didn't think it was only one sided did you? I learned how to understand them, because he learned to understand me. And from that, he was able to teach me more. You don't speed seven years with someone without learning a bit of their language. Unless you really don't care about them."

"A good point. But that's amazing! Why would you want to keep this a secret? It would be a great advancement to the scientific community!"

"We don't want any more attention than we already have. People would be asking me how I did it... they'd probably want to ask Tensa a whole bunch of questions... it would get so annoying."

"I see. I'll keep your secret for you, even from Bianca."

"Thank you." Both Tensa and I said.

"Now I'll get going. See you in Striaton City." Cheren headed off to Striaton City, while we stayed behind to explore. I went through a forest on my way to Route 2, after which Striaton City lied. Just before we got to Striaton City, Bianca stopped us.

"Kynexn! Let's have another battle! The Pokémon I've caught have become a little bit stronger!" She said excitedly. Bianca had caught a Patrat since I had last seen her. Once again Bianca lost, but she was excited this time instead of disappointed.

"Woo hoo! You truly are tough Kynexn!" She started to walk away, but turned back to make a comment.

"I'm gonna train harder so we won't lose next time!" She said, before fading away into the distance. The fact that she used the pronoun 'we' instead of I, was rather significant, considering that to me, it showed that she considered them all a team, even herself. Winning together, and losing together, all being a part of the experience. Eventually I entered Striaton City, and observed the buildings as well as the surrounding mountains. I wasn't familiar with this city so I asked someone where the Gym was. After finding the Gym, I was surprised to find that the Gym Leader was absent. I was told to visit a place that was a Trainer's School. I walked in and found Cheren. Of course he would want to know even more about Pokémon than he already knew. I walked over to him, and asked him if he'd seen the Gym Leader.

"Yeah, he was just here a minute ago. You must have walked right past him." Cheren said, adjusting his glasses while still facing the board.

"Well that sucks, but how am I supposed to know what that person looks like? I'll just go back to the gym then." I sighed and started to walk away, but of course, Cheren stopped me.

"Wait! Kynexn, I was wondering if you would like to battle with me. I want to test out the importance of items in battles." He requested. I was in a bit of a hurry so I turned him down.

"Sorry Cheren, I can't right now. I'm in a bit of a hurry, but if you want, I can tell you about them before I go, and even give you something that will help you out later along the way."

"Oh... that's fine I guess." Cheren sounded a bit dejected.

"I guess I'm not much of a rival am I...? Anyway, items can sometimes in a dire situation, change the outcome of a battle. For instance, I've seen around fifty plus berries, and I know two of which really help if your Pokémon is close to fainting. You probably already know of one."

"An Oran Berry."

"Yes, but there is one that is more potent than that. At lower levels, the Oran Berry saves your Pokémon from fainting. However, unknown to beginners like you, there is another Berry, that when used, restores your Pokémon back to 25% strength. When your opponent is less than 10% you can surprise them by dealing a critical blow. You're very knowledgeable Cheren, so I'm going to help you out. Surprise your opponents with these. Sitrus Berries." I gave Cheren thirty Sitrus Berries in a bag, which he gladly accepted.

"These will really come in handy later... Thank you." Cheren nodded and continued looking at the board, studying ever so diligently. I went to the Gym, and found another green haired person, but this time he was wearing what appeared to be a waiters uniform.

"Are you the Gym Leader that I supposedly missed on my way inside that school?"

"Yes? Yes, I am a Gym Leader of this town. You are...? Right. You want to challenge the Gym. In that case... What was the first Pokémon you chose? Snivy... I see. It's weak against Fire-type Pokémon. I think you need to prepare to face that type. I'll be waiting for you inside." He walked inside and I followed. While I was inside two other people greeted me, and the green haired one also introduced himself.

The green haired one said, "Welcome to the Striaton City Pokémon Gym."

The red haired one introduced himself. "I'm Chili! I light things up with Fire-type Pokémon!"

The one with blue hair that reminded me of ocean waves said, "I'm a Water-type specialist, and my name is Cress. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

The green haired one spoke again for a second time, "And my name is Cilan. I like Grass-type Pokémon."

Cilan murmured, "Um, you see... As for why the three of us, um, are all here is, well, er..."

Chili blurted out, "Oh, enough! Listen up! The three of us will decide whom you'll battle! It'll be based on the type of the first Pokémon you chose!"

Cress commented about my selection of starter. "That is indeed the case. And the partner you first chose was Grass type, it seems, considering that Bianca and Cheren have already been here."

"No way. I want a full three course meal. We're going to take you all on at once."

"Are you sure? No one's ever asked us to that before. Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Cilan asked, concerned.

"Trust me on this. I'm giving you a slight chance, although that probably won't matter either."

"Why are you so confident?" Chili asked.

"I'm not a beginning trainer. I've been to a different region, beat all of their gyms and their Elite Four. We've been through a lot together. Now... let's get started. Send out your first Pokémon." I requested. I'm sure that my speech made them all more than a little nervous.

"Pansear go!"

"Lillipup go!"

"Pansage go!"

"Tensa... Procedure one until we see how they attack." I said, and he went into a stance which resembled an uppercase 'T' with the left and right arms bent down slightly. There was a crowd around the various corners of the area.

"Pansage use Incinerate!"

"No, that's not good enough! You all have to combine your attacks! Tensa use Leaf Storm and Energy Ball Then go to Number three." Tensa began to gather energy into his hands just as the inferno begins to come closer to him. He forms the energy into a ball and moves the ball into the air. While still holding the ball over his head, the bulbs on his back begin to glow. He shakes his tail, and then a swarm of leaves emerge from it. Tensa moves the energy ball and distributes it amongst the leaves, causing them to glow and become charged with the energy. The leaves all moved towards all three targets, the Energy Ball charged leaves easily overpowering the incinerating flames. The leaves connected with all of their targets, severely injuring the three Pokémon.

"Because you three didn't attack at once, you're on your way to an early defeat. If your Pansage and Pansear faint then you'll only have Lillipup and Panpour left, so no type advantage."

"I had a feeling that you were different than normal." Cilan said.

"What was it that gave me away? Was it the fact that I have a Pokémon not native to here, or the fact that we walk together?"

"It's a bit of both... actually. When we're done, I have something that I want to ask you. Let's continue though."

"Alright, I think we'll go a bit easier on you all then. Tensa... use Slam on that Panpour."

"Panpour dodge and use Work Up." Cress ordered. Tensa's attack missed, which surprised me. Either they had trained their Lillipups for speed, or Tensa simply was messing around.

"Lillipup use Work Up as well." Cilan said.

"Do the same as the others Lillipup." Chili ordered.

"Tensa... for now, do nothing." We waited until they gave their next attack orders. The Panpour used Fury Swipes combined with the first Lillipup from behind. The Fury Swipes hit three times, but would have hit five times had Tensa not dodged most of them. His other focus was on the Lillipup which is what caused him to get hit by the Fury Swipes.

After that, I ordered Tensa to use Energy Ball to finish off both Lillipups, leaving only the Panpour. They both used normal type moves, but Tensa came out victorious. Being that the Gym Leaders were out of Pokémon and that they had all been defeated, I was going to get my badge.

"You... are very strong. Not even all three of us could beat you..." Cilan said, greatly amazed.

"Congratulations! Whoa ho! You're on fire Guess we'll be giving you this Gym Badge!" Chili cheered. I could tell that even though he was defeated, he was still excited. I liked that.

"Why, you're quite remarkable. I'm sure that if you wanted to you could become a member of the Elite Four."

"No no no! That's what everyone says, but I don't want to do that. If I become a member of the Elite Four, then I won't be able to explore as much."

"In the Unova region, we are still novice Gym Leaders. Which means the other Gym Leaders are much stronger than we are. We'll need to work hard and improve." Cilan explained. I walked over to Chili, who gave me my badge. Cilan gave me a badge case, and then escorted me back to the restaurant part of the building.

"So, what I wanted to ask you earlier was; can I come with you? I want to travel with you?"

"It would be nice to have another companion in the Unova region, but I don't think you should. It wouldn't be the Trio Badge without a Trio now would it? The badge would have to be changed to the Duo Badge until you got back!"

"I see your point. Well if you ever need help, you can always call me. I'll give you my Xtransceiver number."

"Well alright, that sounds like a good idea." We both exchanged numbers, and then I left the Gym. On my way out I was stopped by a female wearing a lab coat, and that had long raven hair. She appeared to be heavily panting. I had absolutely no idea who she was.

"Professor Juniper... said that you might... be willing to help me..."

"Well, hello. My name is Kynexn, how may I be of assistance today?" I said, bowing to her. She also looked very young, and around the same age as what I guessed to be Professor Juniper's age.

"My name is Fennel. I was a friend of the Professor back in college." She had regained her breath by now. After our brief introduction was over she explained to me what she needed help with. Apparently there was a Pokémon called Musharna which is the evolved form of Munna, and there is apparently a Munna at this place called the Dream Site. I went to the Dream Site and tried to find an entrance. There was a wall were a hole was apparently knocked through it. As soon as I started to step through it, Bianca called out seemingly from nowhere.

"Hi Kynexn! Are you looking for the Munna as well?" Just as Bianca throws that question at me, a cry is heard from the distance. I wasn't exactly sure if I heard it, but when Bianca asked it confirmed it for me.

"Hey! Did you hear that? Let's go check it out!" We walked further into the building--what was left of the building--and saw a small pink Pokémon.

"Muuun" It made the same sound that we heard before. This was definitely the Pokémon that she was looking for. We tried to get closer to it but it moved farther away from us. As it moved farther away, I heard the sound of running footsteps. A few seconds later, more members of Team Plasma showed up.

"We found you, Munna!" A male grunt says.

"Come on! Come on! Make some Dream Mist!" The grunt violently kicked the Munna, hoping to make it produce the Dream Mist, as they usually do when protecting themselves, however this Munna did not produce it right then and there.

"Huh? Who are you? What are you doing?" Bianca asks, confused as she had never seen Team Plasma before.

"Are you talking about us? We're Team Plasma. We battle day and night to liberate Pokémon from foolish humans!"

The female grunt finally spoke up. "What are we doing?" "The Pokémon Munna and Musharna emit a mysterious vapor called Dream Mist, which makes people's dreams a reality." She paused and looked back at the Munna.

"We're going to use that to make people want to release their Pokémon..."

The male grunt enters the conversation again. During that last explanation, Tensa began growling, something that I've only heard him do when he is really angry.

"People like you who send Pokémon into battle for them simply for your own amusement..." The two grunts kicked the Munna again, and it cries out, but still doesn't produce the Dream Mist. At this point, without even being told Tensa rushed over to the male grunt and held him by his neck, summarising my thoughts at that moment.

"That's not a very wise decision." Tensa growled.

"Tensa... as much as I agree with you, you should put him down. Besides, he can't understand what you said anyway." Tensa stopped growling, but still glared at the Team Plasma member. The Team Plasma members don't retreat, even after the outburst.

"You all are fools. You're following an ideal that doesn't make sense. Sure there are some really abusive trainers out there, but not everyone is like that. I don't think you all will ever understand."

"We're going to rescue them from..."

"Oh shut up! I don't care. Just battle me so you can lose!" I interrupted her, severely annoyed.

"Pretty tough talk... for a kid." The female grunt said.

"Alright, let's go."

"Tensa... would you please knock them out, as well as their Pokémon? I can tell that you've been wanting to, but don't make it too painful, I don't want to scar them for life, they're just following an idea, even though I would prefer it if they did get scars..." The male grunt sent out a Patrat to battle, which Tensa defeated with an Energy Ball. The female grunt sent out a Purrloin, which was defeated by a Quick Attack. After the battle they feared what would happen because they lost. Tensa quickly knocked them both out, then laid them against a nearby wall.

"Well, Bianca, that takes care of that."

"I've never seen Tensa act like that before... it was actually kinda scary..."

"Yeah, well, very few people piss him off. The ones that do usually end up hospitalised." Before we even realised how distracted we were from the Munna, a Musharna appears, and prepares to leave with the Munna.

"Tha-thank you." It weakly said. Just before it left, Fennel appeared, as she apparently came to the Dream Site, after a tip that Team Plasma was there.

"Musharna, wait!" I exclaimed.

"What is it?" The Musharna replied, however all the others heard was merely a simple 'Musha?'

"This nice scientist was trying to collect some Dream Mist, but not for the same reasons as Team Plasma." I explained. Before the Musharna had a chance to reply the Munna spoke up.

"He saved me!" It said cheerfully. The Musharna faced me, and could somehow tell that I would be able to understand it.

"Alright. Here." The Musharna closed its eyes, and then a purplish pink cloud appeared above its head. After the cloud appeared, the Musharna opened its eyes again, and moved away, the Munna following. Fennel marvelled at the floating cloud, inspecting it from all angles.

"So that's the Dream Mist?"

"Way to state the obvious, but yeah, that's the Dream Mist."

"Well, with this, it will to finish my research," She was very enthusiastic. I don't understand why she couldn't have just come here in the first place, but I got to meet a rare Pokémon so I guess that's a positive thing.

"Great... so now I'm going to get back to what I was originally doing... collecting badges."

"Thanks for your help."

"Goodbye." We shook hands, and then I left the Dream Site, while Bianca went looking for the Musharna and Munna that we saw. While back at Striaton City, I shopped for some camping supplies; a sleeping bag, a few Super Repels, and two Super Potions. We went back to Striaton Gym and I looked for Cilan. I had changed my mind, and let Cilan come with me. Cilan discussed his going away with his brothers. We set out for route three, and rested at the nearby Daycare.
